Description
World Geography of Travel and Tourism addresses the need to understand the cultural, environmental, historical and political context in
which international tourism takes place. The expert author team has included major themes and issues in tourism, and positioned them
in a regional context. In this way, this text takes a major step into a more analytical approach to global tourism while still providing
a clear account of the geography of travel and tourism.
The book is accompanied by the author's site WorldGTT.com, which includes; PowerPoints
for figures and images with captions, question database files which instructors can use as they wish and a blog post for communicating
with other members of the site.
World Geography of Travel and Tourism makes vital reading for any student seeking an introduction to
tourism geography and indeed, international tourism and global geography as a whole.
Audience
